Baked Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Step 1

Trim the chicken and make small slits crosswise on the chicken to help it cook more quickly.

Step 2

Combine crushed or minced garlic, olive oil, Poultry Seasoning, Spike Seasoning, and Szeged Chicken Rub to make the marinade. (If you don't have all those ingredients you can substitute any seasonings that are good on chicken.)

Step 3

Then marinate in the fridge all day (or as long as possible).

Step 4

When you're ready to cook, drain chicken and let the chicken come to room temperature while the oven heats to 425F/220C.

Step 5

Combine the almond flour and finely-grated Parmesan in a large bowl.

Step 6

Then dip each chicken piece in the Parmesan cheese mixture, turning it over and sprinkling on the coating until both sides are lightly coated.

Step 7

Bake chicken about 25 minutes or until it reaches a temperature just slightly under 165F/75C on an Instant Read Meat Thermometer.

Step 8

If you don't have a thermometer, chicken should feel firm but not hard to the touch. Don't overcook.

Step 9

Then turn the oven to broil and brown the top of the chicken for about 2-3 minutes, watching it carefully.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy!
